T E N

From Unknown Number:
Hello, Delilah:-)

From Delilah:
Who is this?

From Unknown Number:
Oh, sorry. It's Tom:-)

From Delilah:
TOMMY! How'd you get my number?

From Tommy:
Liz gave it to me:-)

From Lilah:
Remind me to thank her later:)))

From Tommy:
So, what are you up to today?

From Lilah:
Brooke and I have a Christmas photo shoot
today. What are you doing?

From Tommy:
Having an early Christmas celebration
with my family here in London.

From Lilah:
It's the week before Christmas. Why so
early?

From Tommy:
Did your dad not tell you?

From Lilah:
Tell me what?

From Tommy:
I swear RDJ never tells you anything. We
worked it out and I, Tom Holland, am
traveling to LA to spend Christmas
with the Downeys :-)

From Lilah:
NO WAY! YOURE KIDDING!

From Tommy:
I'm 100% serious. It's been almost 2 months
since I've seen my best friend.

From Lilah:
Tommy you're the best! When do you
fly in?

From Tommy:
End of the week. You are gonna come to
the airport, right?

From Lilah:
You bet I am! Ahhhh, we're going to have
so much fun:-)

From Tommy:
  What all do you have planned?

From Lilah:
  Well, my sisters and I always drive around
  in our pjs, eating donuts, and look at
  Christmas lights at least once. You're free
  to tag along for that. :))))

From Tommy:
  Sounds like fun:-) Well, I've got to go,
  Lilah. Mum is yelling at me to put my phone
  down and participate in family Christmas.
  talk to you later Xx

From Lilah:
  Have fun, Tommy :)))

"You ready to start this photo shoot?" Brooke asked as she walked into my dressing room.

We were both in Christmas pjs and had our hair in braids. I smiled brightly at her.

"What's got you all smiley?" she let out a small laugh.

I giggled, "Tom is coming to spend Christmas with my dad and I."

"Dear lord, if Lizzie found out about this she would die. Now, come on, gush to me later, we've got a photoshoot to do." Brooke grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room.

"Amazing photo shoot, girls. You're free to go. Sorry it took all day. I just wanted to make sure I got the best shots." Marco, the photographer, said.

I waved him off, "You're good, Marco. It was so much fun."

"Now DD and I are off to IHOP for some delicious pancakes to end the perfect day." Brooke smiled.

Connie, the head of wardrobe, laughed, "Feel free to keep the pjs."

"Great! We don't have to change then." I laughed, dragging Brooke back to our dressing rooms.

We both grabbed all of our belongings before running out of the building. The IHOP was right down the street, so we didn't have to go too far. Once inside the IHOP, we waited to be seated.

"How many?" the hostess asked.

"Two. Can we have a seat in the back though?" Brooke asked.

The woman nodded and grabbed two menus, "Not a problem."

Once we sat down at our table, Brooke leaned forward and rested her chin in her hands. She began to smirk at me.

"What?" I asked.

She fluttered her eyes, "Soooo, tell me about this crush you have on Mr. Tom Holland."

"There's not much to tell you since I don't have a crush on the guy. He's my best friend." I responded as I looked through the menu.

She shook her head, "I swear while he's here over Christmas he's gonna ask you to be his girlfriend."

"I doubt it. I don't even think he thinks of me that way." I shrugged.

She rolled her eyes, "I bet he does and don't you tell me you don't have at least a small crush on him."

"I... I mean he's a great guy."

She glared at me, "Delilah Rawlings Downey, don't lie to me."

"Fine. I've got a small crush on him, but like I said, I doubt he feels the same way." I sighed.

She frowned at me and rubbed my arm, "Don't lose hope, baby girl. He'll come around."

"We can only hope."
